Question: I require the following data ( as provided in the table ) regarding carbon dioxide and hydrogen - derived products such as methanol, formic acid,

I require the following data (as provided in the table) regarding carbon dioxide and hydrogen-derived products such as methanol, formic
acid, oxalic acid, formaldehyde, dimethyl ether, and urea (NH3 and CO2 based). The information should encompass inputs, catalysts &
infrastructure, and outputs.
In the outputs section, please ensure to include details about emissions to air, water, and soil. The primary objective behind incorporating
this data is to ensure that the process is optimized for material and energy efficiency. The table below provides a framework for organizing
the necessary information. If you are aware of more efficient production pathways for the mentioned products, kindly include that information along with appropriate references. CO2_MeOH (1 ton) Production CO2_Formic acid (1 ton) Production
